My surgery is one week away. I can't wait, but I'm nervous. I figured I would share my story to help ease my nerves.

I am a housewife and mother of 3 girls, 11,9 and 6. I breastfed them all for about 2 years. I have always expressed my desire for wanting a breast augmentation after I was done nursing and having children. We decided last year that we were done having children.

I was a full DD when nursing, sometimes a DDD. Before I got pregnant I was a B. I have wanted to get a Breast augmentation since I was a teenager. I was always smaller and wanted to be bigger. I would joke that nursing allowed me to try on different sizes so I would know what I want when the time came.
Well now the time has come. I have surgery next Wednesday, the 17th.

I look forward to getting them filled back up. I'm apprehensive about what to tell my girls and when to tell them. I'm not saying anything yet. Hopefully I will know what to say when the time comes.
I have arranged a sleepover for the initial weekend that I'm recovering. My husband has arranged his schedule so he can take them to school and pick them up and be home with them in the afternoon.
I feel like I'm nesting. I cleaned and organized my kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, etc. I'm in the process of making foods so they can just heat them up while I'm down.

I'm looking forward to being nice and full. I can't believe that the time has finally come.

So it's been 5 days post op. I underestimated the initial recovery. I am so happy with the final result. I ended up with 380 cc in one side and 420 cc in the other. I recognize myself now in the mirror. I can't express how excited I am that I followed through with this decision! I will post pictures this evening.

One year update

1 year post

A year has flown by. I'm still very happy with my decision. They look fantastic. I have wonderfully full natural looking breasts. I am looking forward to buying some fun summer clothes to show off my figure. I am a 34D/32DD. The scars are almost non existent anymore. Thank you for all your support. I was so appreciative of being able to have an outlet where ladies understand exactly what I was feeling and the big decision that I was making. I will update with photos later today.
